You know that feeling when someone asks, “So, what do you do?” and your mind races through all the different answers you could give? Yeah, that’s been my entire life.

For years, I fought against my multi-passionate nature. I tried to pick a lane. To specialize. To be that person with one clear identity that fits neatly on a business card. But here’s what I’ve learned: trying to suppress your many passions is like trying to hold a beach ball underwater – exhausting and ultimately futile.

I’m not just a journalist AND an educator AND a community advocate AND a conference organizer. I’m all of these things BECAUSE I’m all of these things. My work in journalism informs my teaching. My community work creates stories worth telling. My varied experiences make me a better leader.

What society calls “scattered,” I now recognize as my superpower. When you embrace your diverse interests, magical things happen:

• You see connections others miss
• You bring fresh perspectives to “old” problems
• You adapt quickly in changing situations
• You build a unique, uncopyable personal brand

In a world obsessed with specialization, being multi-passionate actually makes you stand out.

Instead of compartmentalizing my interests, I look for the through-line – that common thread weaving through everything I love. For me, it’s about amplifying voices and creating spaces where people can thrive, whether that’s through media, education, or community building.

Finding that core theme doesn’t diminish any of my passions. It gives them context and creates a framework where they can all flow together.

Why I’m Creating MOSAIC

That’s why I’m launching MOSAIC – a 1.5-day conference for people like us who refuse to be boxed in. It’s for the marketing manager who also runs a non-profit on weekends. The teacher who’s launching a side business. The corporate professional with a creative practice that feeds their soul.

For just $497 (early bird rate), you’ll connect with other multi-passionate professionals, learn frameworks for integrating your diverse interests, and leave with an action plan for creating your own professional masterpiece.

Because you can do all the things. You already are.
